I consider my cell phone an asset. With all those hi-tech capabilities packed into a little handset, it keeps me simultaneously connected, productive, on-time, en route, entertained and informed. And I'm not alone - more than 3 billion people around the world (almost half of the global population) have a cell phone. But what if this gadget that seems capable of reaching almost anybody and doing almost anything could also provide a mechanism for savings and asset building for individuals around the world? Despite seemingly limitless potential and enthusiasm for such an innovation, it will unfortunately be some time before this is a reality.
